in a single area, whether it be a city or town,
region, country, continent , or

5. HEALTH
Health is an important component of population
composition, which affects the process of development.
Sustained efforts of government programmes have
registered significant improvements in the health
conditions of the Indian population. Death rates have
declined from 25 per 1000 population in 1951 to 8.1 per
1000 in 2001 and life expectancy at birth has increased
from 36.7 years in 1951 to 64.6 years in 2001.
6. Literacy Rates
Literacy is a very important quality of a population.
Obviously, only an informed and educated citizen can make
intelligent choices and undertake research and development
projects. Low levels of literacy are a serious obstacle for
economic improvement. According to the Census of 2001, a
person aged 7 years. and above who can read and write with
understanding in any language, is treated as literate.
